In Pikmin: Revenge of the Darkfreeze, the Oily Dweevil is basically a Black Dweevil with red eyes and mandibles. Like other Dweevils, they run from Pikmin. They spray oil, which will make any Pikmin but Blacks (even captains), which as a result, are unable to attack temporarily.

To defeat an Oily Dweevil, use a Purple Pikmin, unless unavailable. Otherwise, use Black Pikmin. If all else fails, the Captain is your last hope.

Notes

Olimar's notes

“It appears this particular Dweevil species senses unrefined petroleum in the ground. It digs with its huge mandibles and drinks the petroleum. However, this does not seem to be their diet, but as self-defense. When a predator attacks the Dweevil, it will swiftly unleash its black treasure on the beast, making it unable to attack. During this time, the Dweevil is able to make an escape.”

Louie's notes

“Unless you drain ALL of the oil from the Dweevil, the meal will have a slight diesel-y taste to it. Cook it up for an excellent steak!”
